I've just clicked onto another area and it's good old Mal and Steve again probably sitting beside eachother in the "Weight-loss-forum" office trying to start up another thread. You guys can't be serious, I really believe you are seriously taking the piss!

Steve why are you complaining about not loosing weight on a 1400 calorie a day when I thought you knew all the answers. If you're such a successful Personal Trainer then how come you have time all day to sit and write on this forum? Very strange!

Ok I get it Steve was winding up Mal, very good! Maybe I should read the whole thread before I post anything, duh! Anyway where do you get the time to constantly write on this forum surely you should have your own gym or something???

You are a straight up fucking moron. I wouldn't ordinarily say such things.... however, the way you make assumptions of my personal life is utterly ridiculous.

Notice.... I 'attacked' a thread that is centered around something I think does more harm than good. Yea, I get it... you don't buy that but I don't really care. I have my experience and it's created the perceptions I have. Some schlup on a forum isn't going to change that.

Also notice that you turn this into something personal about me.

I have you know I don't work for WLF.

Yes, I am a trainer. A successful one at that.

Also I am a financial adviser. A successful one at that.

Sorry you don't have the free time to do the things you love.

I do.

Sue me.

But I'll be damned if it makes a difference in my world if you're really this pathetic. I'm sure you're thinking the same about me but fortunately, there are a lot more people on this forum that praise me for my help than down me for my 'ethics' and that's what matters to me.

Can't win them all and I don't ever really give much consideration to my losses.

Adios.

I didn't read the entire thing, but it's about resistant starch, which is (strangely) a starch that is resistant to digestion in the upper intestine, and ultimately makes it into the lower gut, where the bugs have a party and make some gas and some great short chain fatty acids.

The weight loss angle is the same as fiber as it slows digestion, increases satiety, more food for so many calories, etc.

In terms of colonic health, it appears to be better than fiber as it promotes specific good fatty acids and also helps prevent some of the damage from food.

David Topping is one of the researchers out of Australia that looks into it a lot. My buddy has seen him present in the past and he does a pretty nice story around RS. If you want to know more about it, I'd suggest doing a search on his name. I know there's stuff out there.

The other cool thing about RS is that you can put it into normal foods (flour based) without makiing them taste like shit.

Thanks a lot for looking at that for me! I think I understand a bit better now. I really haven't got a clue about a lot of body and nutrition things, so it's nice to have it explained well.

Nice! Have I touched a sore spot Stevie baby! You don't give people a chance, only the ones that want to agree with everything you say. Yes you do bully Newcomers so no wonder they don't stick around for long. You didn't give me a chance at all! It's just the same old people on this forum.

I have plenty of time to enjoy my hobbies and wayhey for you that you are so successful in everything that you do! You mustn't have many clients though. Does your boss know you spend most of your time obsessively writing on a weight loss forum or do you work for yourself? Enough said, keep up the great work superman.....

That's not true at all - while it's typical for newcomers to not stick around on this forum or any other forum - people sign up and post once or twice and leave -it's common in forum land - most forums tend to delete inactive accounts... this one - doesn't...

Not that Steve needs me to defend him, but he spends more time htan anyone answering newcomers questions, no matter how many times they have been asked before and geniunely wants people to succeed in a healthy way.

au contraire - you didn't give this forum a chance -you got a bug up youor butt that your fad diet was the be all and end all and when people poked fun at this diet - you weren't willing to listen.. losing 6lbs to fit in a dress is not the goal of the majority of people on this forum - the majority of the people on this forum aren't about losing vanity pounds -they're here for help to lose real weight to get healthy... and you didn't seem to pay attention to that fact.

I'm so glad that you finally see steve's worth -he really is superman .. but damned if he won't take pictures of his squatters bum in tights...

[quote=FunGirl9;422524]Fungirl, this is going no place fast. And that's counterproductive to me, you and the forum.

So let me apologize.

I just read what I typed above and you're right. You pissed me off yesterday and I said things I wouldn't ordinarily say. I don't think you're a moron and I'm angry at myself for doing the same thing you're doing that's irritating as all hell; pretending you know a damn thing about me. I don't know that you're a fucking moron. I just know you like to assume a lot of things and that doesn't make you a moron. So again.... I'm sorry.

That said though, I do hope you stop passing judgments on my personal life. Based on your assumptions so far, you really haven't a clue anything about me. At all. You know I'm a trainer and you know I'm a financial advisor. That's it. Frankly, you don't need to know anymore than that.

Concurrently though, you like to assume a lot of incorrect things about me. Primarily, you assume I go around making life miserable for newcomers here. Funnily enough, my strongest passion in life is helping people reach their fitness/health goals. I've been successful at doing so too, here, on the net, and in real life.... and this success most certainly hasn't come by way of bullying people into fitting my ideal mold.

It's understandable you are passing these negative judgments on me considering the simple fact that you have only seen me communicate on one very minute subject on a giant forum. Please try and understand that what you see presented in that one thread isn't who I am. Yes, my 'voice' in there reflects my opinion of fad diets.... but that opinion is based solely on the fact that I truly care about my clients and even the members of this forum and if I could save them the frustration by turning them away from a fad diet.... I'm going to. So try and understand that there is a lot more to my 'relationship' with this forum than what you see in that thread.

I understand not everyone is going to 'hear' or listen to the things I have to say regarding fad diets. That's why you have a very select few who still try these things and discuss them on this forum. But the vast majority of members, especially the successful ones have either avoided such tactics or learned the hard way through trial and error, avoid such strategies like the plague. The people who have been successful around here, and I'm not talking about losing 6 lbs in 2 weeks, are the people who have learned to have a long-term perspective and realize that the short-term approaches don't work a vast majority of the time. In fact, they usually cause more frustrations.

I understand our definitions of what 'work' actually means are different, but so be it.

And I'm certainly not superman. I suck at a lot of things. But reaching people and helping them succeed is something I'm good at. And fitness and nutrition happen to be what I'm well versed in, just as I'm sure everyone here is well versed in something.

What I do in my free time is really none of your business.... but you're right. I do spend a lot of time here. It's my hobby. I get paid to share my knowledge and apply it too on this very subject... but it's not a job for me. It's my life. If that's 'stupid' in your book or you don't respect that.... that's really fine. I'm simply asking that you stop passing judgment on who I am as a person.

Thanks.

I guess I like abuse as I was being shunned and treated poorly last summer... so I stayed around for more.

Still, I think this you've said it perfectly in regards to this forums overall goal, SAFE and EFFECTIVE weightloss for a long term plan. Not some dress... I hate that fucking dress.

Quick fix diets are fine for the person going into a fitness competition or trying to fit into a dress for some event (celebs do it every day) but as i said - and I've said frequently -that is not the primary audience of this forum... most people here are not losing vanity pounds -they are losing real weight and quick fix diets do nothing for that... they are ineffective for "jump starts" that people want - consistency is what works - period..


that said - I do beleive you broke your plateau Steve - way to go - must have ben the cookie dough dreams that did it
